By Hero Moto Corp is going to launch the Xtreme 160R soon in India as the company has officially opened test ride registration for the performance bike. The Xtreme 160R was listed on the official website in March, which hinted that the launch was around the corner but the launch was put on hold due to COVID-19 and nation-wide lockdown. Hero commenced production and sales across the country last month in a phased manner.
The company has added a separate page in the official website to help prospective customers to register for the test ride. We are expecting the launch to take place later this month. The Xtreme 160R made its global debut at the Hero World 2020 Event and the motorcycle was so popular thanks to the design theme, which took some inspirations from Honda Xblade and Hornet series as they are the main rivals for the Hero bike too.
The front gets sharp-looking LED headlamps with a muscular design for the fuel tanks gives a character for the Xtreme 160R. The single-seat design with curves makes the bike look even more stylish while the rear gets LED tail lamps. The exhaust design is also unique and handlebar is a single-piece unit but the instrument cluster is fully digital with lots of features too. The suspension on the Xtreme 160R is made by Showa.
The front gets 37 mm telescopic forks while the rear gets a 7-step adjustable mono-shock. Hero has given 17-inch alloy wheels for the Xtreme 160R with radial tyres too. The braking duties are taken care of by 276 mm petal disc at the front and 220 mm disc at the rear with ABS as standard. The Xtreme 160R is powered by 160 cc air-cooled engine with 15.21 PS of power and 14 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox and 0-60 kph in just 4.7 sec.
